STOPPED WORKING JUST 3 WEEKS INTO USING IT AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT SELLER FOR REPLACEMENT/REFUND…WASTE OF MONEY FIRST IMPRESSIONS:I love this thing! OK, so I’ve only used it once so far and the novelty and enthusiasm, for both this gadget and the swimming may wear off, hence me writing this review now, on the 1st day of use! 😉 Let’s face it, anything is gonna be better than listening to your own and other people’s coughs splutters and heavy breathing for lengths and lengths on end, but this little gem is surprisingly good for the money. I checked out loads of reviews for various waterproof MP3s, having got back into swimming in quite a big way a few months ago, before settling for this one. I was teetering on the edge of going the whole hog and getting the “Waterfi” waterproof Ipod, as the reviews for both were similar, but with the Waterfi being more than double the price I was swayed towards this one as a starter for 10. I found it easy to set up, (that’d be because I got my son to do it!)…but it really didn’t take him long honest…half an hour to convert the Itunes I wanted…

A decent option for kids or people with very small ears, albeit with some serious drawbacks. Positives1) Easy to move music on and off the device2) Easy to use the controls in the pool and very lightweightNegatives1) Truly awful headphones that are not only too quiet but are a poor quality fit and constantly let water in. (Which then silences the headphone speaker entirely.) I tried all included earbuds and none of them worked. While I don’t have *huge* ears (I’m a 6 foot 1 man of medium build) I would imagine the earbuds would form a much better seal for kids or petite women. I contacted Speedo to complain and they sent me an alternative set, which where actually the older version of the Aquabeat headphones. Sadly, they were even worse. (Again, I tried all earbuds.) In the end I bought this pair of Waterfi headphones, which are brilliant. (I think it’s the long stems that make them stay in your ear more firmly despite the motion of swimming.) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EIP2PFG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage2)…
